One on one

Of course I remember back in the days
When I was a young kid looking for ways
To protect myself from falling down
Into the bad habits calling for the crown
And I did not know
It's no more than a pathetic show
Speed, coke, all the other dope
Temptation, yes, but I learned to cope

You gotta fight 'm one on one
Face it 'stead of run
You gotta fight 'm one on one
It's no fight, no fight for fun
Weakness hits like a shotgun
Fight 'm one on one
Get it over with and done

Breaking the limits, I got excited
Adrenaline rush, I couldn't hide it
I looked up to all the tough guys
Outlaw heroes in my eyes
And I did not know
It's no more than a pathetic show
Speed, coke, all the other dope
Temptation yes, but I learned to cope

Seduced by sin, I am not a saint
Go ahead if you like to but I ain't
'cause I've seen, the devil's face
How addiction pulled kids into disgrace
And I do now know
It's no more than a pathetic show
Speed, coke all the other dope
Temptation, yes, but I beat the rope

You gotta fight 'm one on one
Face it stead of run
You gotta fight 'm one on one
It's no fight, no fight for fun
Weakness hits like a shotgun
You gotta fight 'm one on one
Get it over with and done
